Podcast Ep. 8: Directing 'Metropolitan', Jane Austen, and Dunkin' Donuts w/ Whit Stillman
At long last, we have finally had the chance to sit down with one of the directors of our 100 films! (#64) Whit is an acclaimed filmmaker and writer who wrote and directed the “Yuppie Trilogy” consisting of “Metropolitan”, which scored him an Oscar nomination, “Barcelona” and “Last Days of Disco”, and more recently “Damsels in Distress” and “Love & Friendship”. We’re so thrilled he was able to take some time out of his day to talk with us!

I really enjoyed "Love and Friendship"! I think they managed to capture Lady Susan's character remarkably well, and, in my opinion, it's the best Jane Austen adaptation that has been made since the early 2000s. The costumes, locations, and sets are beautiful, and I love the classical soundtrack. Very cleverly made. I'm so looking forward to listening to this episode!
